Hansaplast ELASTIC+ WATERPROOF

Hansaplast ELASTIC+ WATERPROOF  fabric plasters are suitable for covering all types of smaller wounds.

  • The flexible fabric material stretches with the skin's movements and dries quickly.
  • The waterproof and breathable membrane keeps the wound dry.
  • The strong adhesion ensures that the plaster stays in place. 

The plasters are available as strips in different sizes which seal all around the wound.

Hi-DRY TEX Technology
Hansaplast developed this three-layer technology for improved wound protection. Hi-DRY TEX technology makes the plaster waterproof, breathable and ensures strong adhesion. Due to its integrated coverage of an impregnated, flexible fabric and a waterproof, yet breathable membrane. The flexible fabric ensures not only utmost comfort for you, but also protection from moisture and water for your wound.

How to use

Clean the wound and gently wipe away any foreign objects such as dirt or grit.
Dry the skin around the cut or graze very carefully.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. 1. How often should I change my plaster?

    Usually, it is recommended to change Standard First Aid Dressings daily due to hygienic reasons. Some advanced plasters such as the Fast Healing Plaster that provide moist wound healing conditions are recommended to be left in place for up to two days or more in order not to interrupt the healing process.

  2. 2. Is it better to let small wounds dry at the fresh air instead of putting on a plaster?

    It is one of the wound care myths that keeping minor cuts and grazes uncovered and let air to them helps them to heal faster. The contrary is true! Research shows that covered wounds heal more efficiently and have a reduced risk of infection. Hansaplast products provide protection until the wound is completely healed.

  3. 3. When should I consult a doctor?

    We recommend contacting a medical professional under the following circumstances:
    • if the wound is deep and causing major bleeding
    • if the wound shows signs of infection such as redness,
      warmth, pain and swelling
    • if there are embedded foreign objects in it
    • in case of animal or human bites
    • if the wound is in the area of the face
    • if there is insufficient tetanus vaccination
    • and of course always when you have questions or are uncertain.

  4. 4. What if my wound gets infected and suppurates?

    You should contact a medical professional if you recognize signs of infection. This is not only the occurrence of pus but also swelling, redness, heat, pain, itching or burning. In case of infection the wound will need medical care and special medical treatment.

  5. 5. Which plaster should I use for my sensitive skin?

    If you have very sensitive skin we recommend using the Hansaplast Sensitive products. These plasters are especially developed for sensitive skin and are very skin friendly and hypoallergenic.

  6. 6. Which plasters do you recommend for wounds on fingers?

    For injuries and wounds on hands and fingers we recommend our special Hansaplast Elastic Finger Strips. These plasters are extra long so that they stick perfectly on fingers. Moreover, we offer a special handset with three different plaster shapes to fit fingertips and knuckles.
